Bristol City have all but secured their Sky Bet Championship status for next season after seeing off the threat of Lee Johnson's old employers Barnsley.

Three wins in the last four - the other being a draw - have placed the Robins six points above the drop zone ahead of two final matches against Premier League-bound Brighton and Harry Redknapp's Birmingham City.

Tammy Abraham reached 26 goals for the season after striking against the Tykes last weekend, while Jamie Paterson grabbed his third in four and defender Aden Flint bagged fifth of the season.

Abraham, 19, will return to Chelsea at the end of the campaign and, with Milan Djuric struggling with injuries, Johnson has recalled Shawn McCoulsky from his spell at Bath City.

The former Dulwich Hamlet youngster has notched up over 30 goals in various formats of football this season and has impressed on loan at Twerton Park.

City's match with the Seagulls will be a televised game this Saturday.

The Bristol City striker will likely be in Djurgarden’s starting side this evening for an away trip to Malmo.

Engvall, who made just six showings for the Robins before leaving on loan some weeks ago, netted his first goal in a 3-0 win over Elfsborg recently.

Kick-off is at 6pm this evening.

Gustav Engvall competes for the ball with England international Michael Keane in the FA Cup.

Paul Heckingbottom on Bristol City, and the defeat at BS3

The Barnsley boss witnessed his side suffer a 3-2 loss at Ashton Gate on Saturday and was honest in hid assessment of his side after the game.

“The players know they have to be better, but they’ve known they need to be better in every game,” said Heckingbottom.

“Everyone saw weaknesses in this game and why we badger them, because moments like this we’re seeing schoolboy defending.

“That wasn’t just for the goals, but throughout the second half. “The second half here highlighted the things we talk about every day behind closed doors.”

The former Dulwich Hamlet player - who made his debut in the League Cup against Hull last year for City - has been recalled by Lee Johnson and speculation suggests he could feature in some capacity for the Robins over the next few weeks.

McCoulsky has scored over 30 goals at various levels of football this season and returns from Bath City, where he has made quite and impression.
